A/N- Wassup? It be TOBN here with the anticipated sequel to Once Upon A Time! YAY!
Anyway, for those who haven't read Once Upon A Time (Which, you totally should because that be my fave story :D), I suggest reading it so you could better understand the story. Just a tip! If you have read Once Upon A Time, then continue on.
So you might be looking at the summery when you first clicked on this story. I mean, are you not wondering why I said "Second in the Kingdom's End trilogy"? Well here is your answer: I am making a third book to this, so it acts like a sequel. Save the questions about the last book; I promise it will be good. For the meanwhile, let us look at this one!
As I said in my profile, this story is taken about one or two years after their escape from fairytale land. So let us pretend ages come as followed; Benny is 18, Ethan is 17, Sarah is 19, Erica is 19, Rory is 17, and Jane is 15. I know those ages are not accurate, but frankly, I do not care. And Rory, Ethan and Benny are graduating, and guess what? Jane is just done freshman year. Before you hit me, let us just say that Jane was either 13 or 14 when the first book happened. Please don't correct me. Seriously.
Pairings are same: Ethara, Bennica, etc. But I have brewed up some stuff for Jane and Rory. I cannot tell you Jane's, but this might just turn out to be a Rory/Della. BUT! Jane's is interesting, I promise.
Flynn (From Tangled) is a bit OOC because he acts more like a villain and a theif than to his actual charming persona. Wait...did I just spoil something?
Enough of me blabbering; let us begin!
Drop a review because you just love sequels! Hurry up and...
ENJOY!
After Ever After: Chapter 1: Not Innocent Until Proven Guilty
Ethan threw on his backpack over his shoulder as he sighed. Finals were just over and Ethan knew that would be the last finals he would ever have to do. He grinned as he caught sight of Benny and Rory on the other side of the class, smiling as Ethan hi-fived them.
"Dude, we finished finals. WE ARE MEN!" Rory exclaimed, returning the hi-five. Benny nodded excitingly.
"Radley is right dude! We are so awesome!" Ethan looked at Benny confusingly. "Rory. You mean Rory right?" Ethan said, slightly confused. Benny's eyes widened as he tapped his forehead jokingly.
"I meant Rory." He said bashfully. "Sorry...caught up in the moment." Benny added quickly, rushing off, away from the duo, looks of perplexion on their faces as they saw Benny being stopped by Principle Hicks. Surprisingly, Evelyn stood by him, a face Ethan only recognized as Evelyn's "I know you screwed up magic" face. But this time, Ethan thought otherwise. This was obviously not magical. Benny was escorted away, hands dug in his pockets as Rory tilted his head, scrunching up his face in a confused way.
"What on Planet Zorg just happened?" Rory asked in disbelief. Ethan shrugged as he started to follow the spellmaster. Rory threw his hands up in the air, clearly confused as Ethan turned his head around. He looked at him, a bit annoyed.
"Well?" Ethan asked. "Are you coming or what?" Ethan gave Rory the "We are going on a little mission" sort of look as Rory smiled goofily as he nodded.
"Sure thing. We could be like, Men In Black!" Rory said in excitement as Ethan facepalmed. "No aliens." He said. Rory sagged a bit.
"Fine, we don't have to have aliens." He grumbled, following the seer as they walked to the office. Ethan caught sight of Benny's hair turn around a corner as they stealthily followed, hasty not to get caught.
Benny walked away quickly from his friends, head pounding as a voice emerged in his mind.
"Radley?! How can you screw that up?!" The mental voice screamed in his mind as Benny growled under his breath.
"I am sorry." He hissed quietly, careful no one could hear him.
"You need to go Flynn. Now." The voice hissed. Benny smiled a bit as a twinkle of pink glazed in his eyes. "Afraid that is not possible. I need somewhere to stay, and since you messed with the crown, you are getting it. Besides, you know I am the only one who will ever know about the uprising in Whitechapel."
"Can't you just go back to fairyland and just leave me alone?!"
"For the last time, no. You think I am enjoying this? Staying away from my wife?! I am not. But I have to do this; every fairytale character is going insane because of that witch's frauds." The voice suddenly rose.
"Speaking of frauds, can you not see Hicks and my grandma? What did you steal this time?!" The voice practically yelled, making Benny wince at the volume.
"Nothing! I just...um..helped you with a grade?" He murmured slightly as Hicks started to sternly talk to him. The voice shuddered as Evelyn started to talk as well. But Benny couldn't hear them over the voice in his head.
"You hacked the grading system?! Cool..I mean not cool! I am gonna get suspended for that! I thought Flynn Rider doesn't steal anymore!" Benny smiled a bit, but was faltered by a deep glare from Hicks as he sighed.
"This is the only time I will ever get to do this!" He muttered under his breath. The voice groaned at the faux spellmaster's reason as Benny sighed.
"Can you relax?" Benny said while he got escorted to the office.
"I got this."
Jane walked through Whitechapel High after finishing her last test. She smiled, clearly proud of herself for being done with freshman year. What a year has it been too. Who would have known high school would be so rough?
Jane was lost in her train of thought as she turned a corner and smashed face first into a person. She yelped as she dropped all her books.
"Oh my gosh, I am super sorry!" Jane exclaimed to the stranger as she started to grab her books. The stranger smiled a tiny grin.
"I believe the fault is mine." A sweet, innocent voice said. Jane looked up in awe as she took a closer look at the stranger.
It was a fine boy, pretty tall as he inched above Jane slightly. He had a mischievous grin as he smoothened the small brown ponytail to the back of his back. The boy wore yellow gloves, which Jane found quite absurd. He was buff and his red shirt shined a bit. He had a satchel likewise to Benny's, or so Jane noticed. Jane also noticed that the boy must be at least a year or two older than her, possibly 16. He took a look at Jane and smiled.
"Anyway, are you okay my Belle?" He asked smoothly, carrying every heavy textbook on one hand with ease. Jane looked at him in confusion.
"Um...my name is Jane. Jane Morgan." She said, firmly shaking his hand. The boy's smile faltered a bit, but smiled quickly.
"Of course your name is Jane. Belle means 'beautiful' in Italian. And you are very beautiful." He said smoothly, covering up for his small mistake. Jane couldn't help but blush as she smiled a bit.
"Thanks." She said in a small voice. The bell rang as the two in silence stood up. Jane looked down as the boy smirked.
"Well, I am sorry for bumping into you. Being a klutz runs in the family." Jane said jokingly, her mind falling on her dorky brother. The boy smiled, shaking her hand once more.
"No worries. I love klutzes." He was about to turn away when he looked back at her and smiled.
"And I am Gaston." He added. Jane nodded, not saying anything as he kissed her hand. Jane felt a rush of what she thought was nerves flow out of her, as she suddenly felt relaxed, and at the same time, a bit drained. But she ignored it as she smiled dazedly at the buff boy.
"Stay the way you are, my belle." He smiled as he walked away.
Jane was left in the midst of the students, smiling like a idiot as she walked away, lovestruck to what just happened.
He seems perfectly handsome..cute...innocent... Jane said, her mind on cloud nine.
But alas, innocence often becomes an advantage.
Besides, you aren't innocent until proven guilty.
"You did what?!"
Ethan looked at his smirking friend in shock as Beny popped a french fry in his mouth.
"Can you relax? Everything is fine. I put a memory-loss spell on Hicks and Emily-"
"Evelyn."
"Eveyln, yes." Benny corrected himself quickly. Ethan groaned in worry.
"I am worried about you B." That statement made Benny perk up a bit. "Why? You got nothing to worry about!"
"Except for the fact that your losing it!" Ethan interrupted quite rudelyBenny rolled his eyes as Ethan continued.
"You steal, you forget your friends' and family's names...and it all started after fairy tale world. What gives?" Ethan added, knowing that what he said was technically true.
Suddenly, Benny's eyes glowed a hazy pink as he looked frantically at Ethan.
"Stephanie...Fairytales...Flynn...Whitechapel! Help!" He exclaimed in a rush before fainting, his eyes rolled to the back of his head as he crumpled fully to the ground.
"Benny!" Ethan exclaimed in shock as he knelt beside the stilled spellmaster. His emerald eyes shot open as he shook his head quickly.
"Who are you?" He said quickly. Ethan's eyes widened. "WHAT?!" He exclaimed. Benny started to laugh as he brushed the dust of his shirt.
"Just kidding!" He smiled as Ethan's worried eyes looked at him in newfound annoyance. "Really? You faint and that is all you got?" Benny shrugged.
"What? If I took a picture of your face right then, it would go viral!" He joked, certainly sounding like his normal self. Ethan decided to let what happened go, for he worried about his friend's safety.
"Whatever B. Whatever." Ethan finalized as they continued to talk about video games.
Question that Ethan had though: Why did Benny call Clayton the Great, and not Krypton the great?
Benny walked worryingly out of the cafeteria as the voice practically screamed at him.
YOU IDIOT! IT IS KRYPTON THE GREAT! WHO IS CLAYTON?! The voice yelled sternly, clearly upset. Benny hushed it quickly, his head pounding.
"No. We are not having that conversation."
WE SO ARE!
"I want to know why you possessed your mind for a second, pushing me out?" He hissed quietly, ignoring the spellmaster's cries. "I thought we agreed on not doing anything before we have a plan?" He added. The voice shook in anger.
I hate you more than I hate Tangled. He grumbled. Benny's eyes widened as he mentally slapped himself.
Ow! What the heck was that for?
"That is for saying Tangled was bad. It was great!" He said. That is because you were in it you little arrogant-
The voice was muffled as Benny smiled.
"Silence the mind spell...this boy got a bunch of 'em." He said in satisfaction as he walked out, smile on his face.
Stephanie finally was able to find a reversal spell on her own. With her short term memory, she was growing old and she knew it. Magic kept her young, and she needed more souls...fast.
So with the reversal spell, she could automatically reverse 10 years of her life. Good enough if you asked her.
She whispered the spell and felt a warm sensation run through her skin, her hair growing as sparkles filled the air. The dark creatures in the room looked at her in awe as she was transformed into a younger her. Blonde hair flowed from her shoulder as she saw a silver streak written on it. Her face was still a bit burnt, but not as bad as it was before.
"Now we just need to wait for him to show up.." She murmured.
Suddenly, after a bit of waiting, the attic door swung open. The dark creatures in the room swivelled out slowly, Stephanie following as she met the eyes of icy blue. She smiled as he walked her down.
"You are quite handsome yourself. I am-"
"Stephanie. I know. You released me." The stranger said. Stephanie rolled her eyes as she kissed his cheek.
"Well appreciated for the help. It has been a long two years or so." She said tiredly, yawning a bit. "I don't remember your story involving magic." She added. The stranger shrugged mischievously.
"Let us say it was a chance meet."
Ethan went to bed as with Jane. Mr. Morgan and Mrs. Morgan decided it was then time to clean the house. Because why not, right?
Mrs. Morgan cleaned their bedroom when a small box fell out of their closet. She called for her husband in a rush as he ran up, not believing what they were seeing.
"I got rid of it. I swear I did!" Mr. Morgan hissed quietly. Mrs. Morgan put her hand to her forehead as she groaned.
"Well it is obviously here. Which means..." Mr. Morgan gasped.
"She is returning. She is going to take back what was hers."
A/N- Well I promise you that this is going to be action packed! Are you as excited as I am?!
